An eight-year-old girl has been mauled to death by a leopard at her house on the outskirts of a wildlife sanctuary in northern India, the Press Trust of India reported.
The girl was sleeping in the courtyard of her house when the animal attacked her. The leopard dragged her into a forest, where her body was found.
The incident happened in Katarniaghat sanctuary in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Such animal attacks are common in villages and tribal belts in and around wildlife sanctuaries acrossIndia.
A few days ago, a farmer in the western state of Maharashtra was attacked by a leopard, but he escaped with injuries to his head.
What saved the man was the leopard's involvement in a fight with a pack of dogs.
As the leopard leaped on the man, the dogs attacked the animal and it turned its attention back to the dogs.
